Then I go and research some emerging technologies and associated gadgets and suddenly...

Sustainability Series: Biodegradable wine packaging turns grape waste into a sustainable solution, A Nottingham Trent University graduate has found an inventive way of tackling one of the wine industry’s biggest waste problems. Her project has the potential to inspire design and technology students to think differently about sustainability, materials, and product design. Tackling waste in the wine industry For every 100 litres of wine produced, 30 kilograms of grape waste is created. Globally, this adds up to around 3.5 billion kilograms each year. BA Product Design graduate Ella Sainsbury chose to address this issue in...

Moving on, If your school has invested heavily in planning materials which you feel have weaknesses from a D&T point of view, it is important to think practically about what can be done to bring them up to scratch. It may be helpful to do some or all of the following: First, look for the positives – identify those aspects of D&T projects and activities that you are happy with and that support good practice. For example, the D&T might be clearly identifiable as a subject in its own right, which can help to...
